Globus is a colossal band creating a blend of dramatic & cinematic music fused with classic rock & pop, amongst other elements.
Globus preformed a live concert in Santa Monica, California, on June 27th. Trailer Music Live, included Globus songs, and Immediate songs. More info can be found here: www.trailermusiclive.com
The core of Globus is essentially a classic rock band, fronted by 24 year old Surrey based Dann Pursey, and featuring Skunk Anansie and Feeder drummer Mark Richardson and Manic Street Preachers’ keyboardist Nick Naysmith.
Globus performed a hugely successful ‘test’ concert last summer at Wembley. As one of the production managers said, “We’ve done rock bands, we’ve done orchestras, we’ve done choirs….but this was the first time that we’d ever had them all in one enormous show!” A TV special and DVD that captured that incredible show is in the works.
Globus has full-length releases on Imperativa Records.

Orchard Of Mines
Globus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with the color of the past
Are the sounds in bloom with you?
Cause you seem like
an orchard of mines
Just take one step at a time
And you seem
So fragile on the inside
you climb these grapevines
Would you look now
unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...
Vines...
I'll say it to be proud
won't have my life turn upside down
Says the man with some
with some gold forged plan
Of life so incomplete
like weights strapped around my feet
Tread careful one step at a time
And you seem
to break like time
So fragile on the inside
you climb these grapevines
Would you look now
unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Do you denote...
(La flama niposa
La ombra dispare
La noce immortale
La voce murmure)
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote...
Do you not know, i see you play the game
Denote...
The lyrics of "Orchard of Mines" by Globus evoke themes of fragility, introspection, and mindfulness. The opening line urges the listener not to "taint this ground with the color of the past," suggesting that the singer is seeking a fresh start or a new beginning. The following lines describe the subject of the song as "an orchard of mines," which could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could imply that the person is a source of hidden potential or undiscovered treasure. Alternatively, it might suggest that the person is filled with explosive emotions or events from their past that could detonate at any moment.
The verses go on to describe the fragility of this person, comparing them to something that "break[s] like time." Despite this fragility, the person climbs grapevines, perhaps symbolizing a determination to overcome adversity. The line "to climb these grapevines" is repeated several times throughout the song, reinforcing the idea of taking things one step at a time and not rushing headlong into anything.
The bridge of the song introduces some new elements, such as the whispered, mysterious-sounding vocals in another language (Italian?) and a reference to a "gold forged plan of life." This could be interpreted as a critique of people who try to plan out every aspect of their lives, or as a call to let go of rigid thinking and embrace uncertainty. The final stanza repeats some of the same lines from earlier, urging the listener to "know, to feel, to play me once again" and asking if they "denote from what we feel."
Line by Line Meaning
Don't taint this ground
Do not spoil this place
with the color of the past
by bringing in memories of past experiences that may ruin the moment
Are the sounds in bloom with you?
Do you hear the beauty of nature's sound fully?
Cause you seem like an orchard of mines
Because you resemble a place of abundant emotional and hidden treasures
Just take one step at a time
Progress cautiously and steadily
And you seem to break like time
You're fragile and vulnerable to time's effect
So fragile on the inside
Emotionally brittle
you climb these grapevines
you're striving to reach a higher point, a better life
Would you look now unto the pit of me on the ground
Now, see me in a vulnerable state, laid low on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...
And you're exploring the path towards a better future
I'll say it to be proud
I will speak out with pride
won't have my life turn upside down
I won't let anything ruin my life
Says the man with some with some gold forged plan
The man with great ambitions and objectives
Of life so incomplete
Despite the aspirations, the man's life feels incomplete
like weights strapped around my feet
The dreams and desires feel like heavy shackles dragging him down
Tread careful one step at a time
Be careful and proceed with caution
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Return to a former state of knowing, feeling, and being
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you understand our emotions?
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Do you not realize that we notice you're pretending?
